Once a target has been acquired it sticks to it until dead or no longer valid. To do anything else would mean constant scanning for new targets which will waste CPU time in 99%+ of the cases.
No need to scan for new targets, the character can emit a signal "wake up, im here" for enemies within a ...

I think that an uncovered character standing next to a biter is a higher priority target than rock. Could you respond whether this statement is meaningful when describing behavior of the biters.

maybe we should also show the score in everything test besides it?

I think, no :). If trains use U-turns frequently, it means there is something wrong with a railway. U-turns should be a rare exception, this is why I didn't try to make them fast. Of course, there should not be any deadlocks ...

Yes, I can rename. Both the intersection you posted deadlock. For intersections with U-turns, they should be tested with the Everything test. Actually so does the first one you posted, so I'll take them off the site untill they don't deadlock.

I fixed my intersections. I updated images and ...

Thank you, I found it. That button is almost invisible to me . Please consider making a large dedicated button on the Control Panel.

I still don't get, where are these settings, which mod? Is there some url explaining these particular settings?

What is Everything test?

I mostly use "T" intersections, I made these compact and symmetrical. Like all my real-game intersections, they support U-turns.

For the scoring, I run Testbench Forum Test that does not include U turns as they are not optimized and should be used rarely, though intersections were also tested for U ...

Of course, we expect some discussion here.
Or, this topic may be just N+1 voice saying "Gleba is too hard". There already are many discussions about that. I'd just like to ask more one question: are most players as skilled as those who say "Actually Gleba is good"?

While you are correct in saying that people may be unaware of the setting, posting a topic in "Balancing" doesn't mean "too hard for me", it means "may be too hard for most players." This implies correcting the default setting, not just the ability to set individual settings.

"Balancing" is about the changes that may work better for all players with the default setting. Extreme players can reduce this setting for themselves.

It seems the devs stop responding once topic has been moved to "not a bug"

Thanks for the report however that is working as intended. They will attack anything that is not their own that's in the way. In this case the rock got in the way so they will remove it.

Got the same issue. Shouldn't they switch to a character if passing nearby? I got a busy biter that ...

There are mods for that: RailTester and Testbenchcontrols

I designed an intersection that allows U-turns without a roundabout. I need the U-turns for a character train that runs here and there.

For the scoring, I run Testbench Forum Test that does not include U turns as they are not optimized and should be used rarely, though intersection was also tested ...

In your setup you need a chain signal before the split if you seek for the best performance. The train should wait before the split because it is not known which branch will be free first.

Possible solution: color differences (not all colors) can be expressed stronger in a blueprint.
For this, need to calculate average colors for all assemblers (inserters, chests etc), calculate difference with the required assembler type for each pixel. Larger difference -> larger opacity in the ...
